I am almost certain that makeup products all run out at the same time. As soon as you notice that you need to repurchase one product, the others run out too. Surely I am not the only one to realise this?! I took the trip to Boots to pick up replacements for the products that were approaching running out, and made the most of the 3 for 2 offer. The other two products I was certain on, but the third and free one I was unsure on. In the end, I decided to try the new (well, new to me) Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr Breathable concealer. I use and love the Rimmel Lasting 24hr foundation, so was expecting that I'd love this just as much. Here are my thoughts...
Packaging
With concealers, I feel the most hygienic and stress free way to apply it, is with a doe foot applicator. The 'squeezy' tube on this one isn't my favourite. At times it takes quite the squeeze to get any product out, and the sponge on the end appears to absorb some of the product. It wasn't working for me to apply it straight to the face. So to apply, I place the concealer onto a brush and apply with the brush. It takes more time to do this way, but it works.
Shade Range
A downfall with drugstore concealers is that brands only come out with a few shades. I also tend to find that the lightest shade in the range isn't as brightening as I would like it to be. I chose the shade '001 Light Ivory' and it's the perfect shade for brightening my under eyes.
Formula
This concealer is definitely a medium coverage concealer. It does cover up darkness, but isn't super heavy, full coverage or cakey looking. This formula hasn't creased under the eyes once set down with powder, which is something I always want from a concealer. It lasts all day, staying put even when I am working. I can't say I have put the 25hr wear claim to the test, but it definitely stays put for me.
Overall Thoughts
I really like this concealer - I would definitely repurchase it. It's light, really brightening and leaves no creases, yay.
What's your favourite concealer?

I haven’t seen this concealer anywhere yet, love the foundation version of this though. I love a super high coverage concealer though so maybe this isn’t for me xx

I would say that if you’re a fan of the full coverage then this one isn’t going to be for you. A great full coverage drugstore concealer is the Bourjous Radiance Reveal! xx
Deleteall my products seem to run out at the same time too. every. time. I haven't heard about this concealer yet but it sounds really good x

Every time! You must try it! x
DeleteI haven't tried this one yet, but it looks good! My favourite concealer is the Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer - it comes in a tube too, but I just love the formula.

DeleteI don't really like the squeezy tube too! But the formula looks ok! I remimber I tried a Rimmel lasting finish concealer and that I liked it so much!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment my concealer is ended so I have to repurchase it, thanks for the recomandation!

I've seen this around but, as per usual, Belgium doesn't stock the lightest shade, super annoying!
